Chapter 168 - Stone Bridge (2/2)

”How far down do you think it goes,” Badger said.

”I wouldn't want to find out.” Sloth replied.

The stone bridge was quite wide and ran about 100 meters long to the other side.

”Well Jack, you first as always,” Gary said with his hand forward.

Jack was the first to step on the stone bridge and as he did, he started to jump up and down to test the bridge's strength.

”It's made out of stone you dingus!” Gary shouted, ”It's not going to give.”

Once Jack had made sure the bridge was safe, the group walked across the bridge together. After walking slowly, they had eventually reached the centre.

”Halfway, you can do it,” Badger said to himself.

”Oh, right you've always been afraid of heights.” Sloth said.

”I didn't think deep underground we would experience something like this.” Badger smiled.

Then suddenly, from the sides of the bridge, multiple large tentacles started to appear.

”What the heck are they!” Gary shouted.

The tentacles immediately went for the group on the bridge. Gary slashed at the tentacles that came towards him slicing them and causing them to fall to the ground but as soon at the tentacles were cut off new ones would grow in its place.

Ray had managed to grab one of the tentacles and was hoping to pull up whatever the tentacle was attached to. But as he pulled the tentacle managed to snap at the same time.

Then one of the tentacles had managed to wrap around Sloth's legs. It lifted him into the air and slammed him onto the ground. When the tentacle went to lift sloth in the air once more, Badger came running forward and sliced the tentacle just in time causing his brother to fall to the ground.

Jack's body and attacks were strong but his speed was slow. Unable to avoid the tentacles attack, Jack was repeatedly getting whacked in the back by them.

This time when Ray grabbed on to one of the tentacles, he decided to activate his fire attribute hoping to spread the fire on the whole thing. Unfortunate while Ray was holding two tentacles in each hand, another two had grabbed him by the legs and threw him to the side.

Ray grabbed on to the ledge of the bridge just in time, otherwise, he would have fallen to his death. Then when Ray looked off to the side, he could finally see what was attacking them. Underneath the bridge was a slug-like creature who was stuck upside down on the bridge.

It had a single eye and had thousands of tentacles coming out from its sides.

Then when the group thought things couldn't get worse. They could hear the sound of giant heavy footsteps coming from one of the tunnels.
